The Sherman Hills Task Force will meet next week to discuss the Wilkes-Barre housing complex.

“Our main focus is to begin the public conversation about the multi-faceted set of problems concerning Sherman Hills,” wrote Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Moosic, who announced the meeting in a press release. “I look forward to hearing many different ideas to address the issues facing the complex.”

Speakers at the meeting will include a local non-profit, administrators from housing organizations and a former tenant of the complex.

Scott Kline, vice president of the National Housing Trust, will speak at the hearing. The organization tries to preserve affordable rental homes for low-income residents, according to Cartwright's press release. David Patton, codes administrator for Harrisburg, will also talk. Patton has advised the state on community improvement policies.

The public hearing is Feb. 20 at 9 a.m. in the Luzerne County Courthouse council chambers.
